Compare and Contrast - China and Korea

review about AsianAmerican Dreams
AsianAmerican Dreams is really a touching book. It is touching not because it is a fiction with many moving plots and the hero or heroin possesses moving characteristics --- strictly speaking it is not a fiction --- but because it provides a description, a statement, a confession from the perspective of an AsianAmerican woman writer who exposes so unelaborated, so frankly, so honestly, her innocent feelings about her being as an AsianAmerican.

For example, when people see a Vietnamese woman in her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s just migrated to America, they would assume that she will be working...
